JOSEPH, Mo.: Jan. 8.—James Smith, a young farmer living in the French bot- toms, reported to the police to-day that he had seen an unknown man drown a baby in the river a mile north of the city. He had stopped on the railroad track to talk to a etranger, and they witnessed the trag- edy together. The unknown man cut a hole in the ice, and then picked up the baby. Just then the two men on the railroad track called to him, and he looked around. He saw them, but stooped and pushed the baby into the water, stifling its cries with a shawl, in which it was wrapped. Smith and the other man went to the spot at once, but the swift current had car- ried it away. They then went in pursuit of the murderer, and Smith became separ- ated from the other man. The stranger and the murderer have not been seen since.

In the waste basket of a law firm in the Union Trust Building are the fragments of a divorcee petition that was never filed. In a& pretentious eight-room’ residence, 4324 North Market street, happiness has sup- Planted desolation, Henry N. Barckers and wife, who were estranged, are now reconciled. Three weeks ago the Post-Dispatch told the story of the Barckers family. At that time Mrs. Barckerg was at the home of her mother, Mra. Collins, on North Thirteenth street. Barckers lived alone in his big house with a pet dog for company. The domestic strife was bitter and there ap- peared no hope of reconciliation. Attor- neys Miller & Brewer had been retained by Barckers to bring suit for divorce. But when Barckers and his wife and Mrs, Co, lins, the mother-in-law, read about themselves in the Post-D.spate rn it set them to thinking. There was a conference and that conference resulted in a reconciliation. A few days ago Attorneys Miller & Brewer received a postal card saying: “We have kissed and made up. I want that suit dismissed.’’ The postal bore the signature of H. N. Barckers. A Switchman Killed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. &%-—J. M.

RECKLESS USE OF A REVOLVER. Police Summons" Issued for a Lindell Boulevard Resident. W. W. Boulton, living at 342 Lindell boulevard, is said to have celebrated the advent of New Year's day by firing four shots from his reve'ver just as the bells were ringing at miduight. Mr. Boulton pointed his revolver at the ground. The ground’ .being hard and glassy froe its sleety coating, the bullet glanced and ranged upwards, penetrating the front windows of the residence of W. T. Elder, 3507 Lindell, across the street. The bullets broke two panes of glass, tore the lace curtains and dropped to the floor after spending their force against the walls of the room. Mre Elder wanted Mr. Boulton to recom- mse him for the damage inflicted by the e but, he saya, Mr. lten re- c ttorn SAS SHE OWN ALL KAHORI Mrs. Margaret Leonard of St. Louis Seeks Her Rights. NEVER SIGNED A VITAL DEED. HUSBAND OWNED THE GROUND OF THE LITTLE VILLAGE THIRTY YEARS AGO. HERS IS A DOWER INTEREST. Mrs. Leonard Thought Her Rights Had Outlawed, but a Lawyer Says She Will Come Into a Fortune. Kahokia is a pretty little village on the Mobile & Oh’'‘o railroad in St. Clair County, Ill., six miles south of East St. Louis. Mrs. Margaret Leonard of 65080 Easton avenue, St. Louis, lays claim to the ground upon which the town is located. Thirty acres are covered by the houses that constitute the village of Kahokia. Mrs. Leonard asserts that she haa a dower in- terest in the thirty acres and she has re- tained attorneys to urge her claim. Margaret Leonard is the widow of Wil- liam Leonard, one of the pioneer settlers of St. Clair County. . Twenty-five years ago William Leonard s6ld the land that was subsequently laid off in town lots and named Kahokia. Mrs. Leonard claims that she did not sign the deed and that is the point her lawyers will urge in the guit that is to be inst.tuted. Attorney Miller of the firm of Miller & Brewer, went to Belleville, the county seat, Saturday to examine the records, If he finds verification of Mrs. Leonard’s claim, suit for dower interest will be filed at once. At the time Wijliam Leonard sold the land the village of Kahokia had never been heard of. The thirty acres were covered by grass and there was no such thing as a corner lot. The land sold for a compara- t'vely low price. To-day it is valuable, and if Mrs. Leonard wins her case she will be the possessor of a fortune. At present she is only tn moderate circumstances. For several] years Mrs. Leonard has lived with her son on Easton avenue. He is the proprietor of a blacksmith shop. She is about 65 years old and is well Known to the early-day St. Louisans. The case will be vigorously contested. It is complicated by reason of the fact that within the last twenty years numerous transfers of title have been made. Mrs. Leonard says she is hopeful of vic- Mtory. She declared that she never “signed away her rights,’’ and she proposes that the law shail determine ner claim. Until recently she was under the impression that her claim had been outlawed by the lapse of time and that is why suit was not in- stituted earlier. The attorneys say a dower is never outlawed. WHOLESALE RAID MADE. Twenty-Three Disorderly Women, Sus- pected of Theft, Are in Court. The names of twenty-three women were on the docket of the First District Police Court’ Saturday morning as a result of a wholesale raid made upon this class of of- fenders by the police of the Central District. The raid was made because of numerous complaints by citizens and strangers who have been robbed. The latest victim of the women is a man giving ‘the name of ‘John Doe,’”’ who says he is stopping at the Terminal Hotel. He said he was robbed of $33 Friday night on Fourteenth and Chestnut streets by Bessie Gillespie and May Richardson, both of whom were arrested. Many of the cases against the twenty- three were continued. One or two were nolle prossed. There was a notable absence of ‘“‘hoboe”’ spectators in the police court Saturday. They were frightened away by the fear that the police would arrest them on a charge of idling and either send them to the Work- house or compel them to leave town. There were eight defendants on the docket charged with idling. All gladly took*’ hours in which to leave the city. ; BRADY WANTS ANOTHER TRIAL. Not Satisfied With the Verdict in the Sedalia Suit. Attorneys Thomas Rowe and E. A. B. Garesche for Hugh J. Brady in the Sedalia Board of Trade case, made a forma] motion for a new trial in Judge Klein’s court Sat- urday. They ask that the judgment be set aside and a new hearing granted on the ground that the court erred in overruling the ob- jections of defendant's counsel, that it erred in refusing to admit certain portions of their evidence, that the instructions given to. the jury were improper and il- legal, that the finding was against the evi- dence and the law and finaily that the amount of the judgment was excessive.

Taylor Will Address the Members of the Tennessee Society at Their Banquet. ; Robert: L. Taylor, Governor of Tennessee, and Col. W. M. ae of h’s staff, arrived from Nashville Sa day morning and are at the St. Nicholas. The Governof will be the guest of honor at the banquet of the Tennessee Society this evening. “Bob” Taylor, as everybody calls the Gov- is one of the most famous men in He has three times been elec*- ed Governor of his State. Of recent years, when he wasn’t Governor, he has been lectur'ng.. As a lecturer he made a great success and hundreds of thousands of pea- ple have heard him speak on the subject of “The Fiddle and the Bow. When “Bob” Taylor was first elected Governor of Tennessee the Republican noin- ineee was his brother, “Alf’’ Taylor, whose popularity in Tennessee is almost as great as is Gov. “Bob’s.”’ A few years ago the two brothers made a short lecture tour together, speak'ng upon the same platform in a sort of joint debate. “This is Jackson’s day,” said the Gover- nor to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday, ‘and of course we Tennesseans are proud of it and of ourselves. Ours is a great State, Tennessee is the nursery of the people. She has supplied Texas not only with a popula- tion, but with such leaders as Sam Hous- ton and as Davy Crockett, who perished at the battle of the Alamo. “The blood of Tennessee has supplied Mis- : sourl with its best citizenship, headed by the-immortal name of Thomas Benton, the great statesman. “At Springfield four or five years ago I made a speech to the Tennesseans and de- scendants of Tennesseans living in South- west Missouri. Rake the world and a finer body could not be gathered togetner. There were 5,000 people there and no man ever had the pleasure of addressing a stronger or more intelligent gathering. ‘Tennessee has bountifully supplied the other States of the West with population, and we still have a great many people left. The population of the State is larger now than it has ever been and our people are prosperous and happy. “The truth is our principal industry in Tennessee is the production of babies, and next to babies we produce politics.”’ : “How is politics in Tennessee just now?” he was asked. “Red-hot and getting hotter.

It is Middle ennessee against West Tennessee. “I want to state, and state plainly, that I am not a candidate for the Senate nor will I be. I appointed Mr.-Turley, who is as true a man and as fine a Democrat as Tennessee ever grew, and I appointed him in good faith, and in his fight for election to the office I am for him first, last and all the time, and for no other. “It has been published that Mr. Turley merely wanted to gratify his ambition of going to the Senate, and that there was an understanding, tacit or otherwise, that when his few months were over he would retire and that I would be a candidate be- fore the Legislature. ““The story goes that I appointed Mr. Tur- ley, that he then refused to retire and that 1 found myself unable to become a candi- date against my own appointee. That story is without foundation. As I said before, I appointed Senator Turley in good faith and with the expectation that ‘he would be a candidate before the Legislature should he desire the seat.”’ “Is the Senate the end of your ambition?” Gov. Taylor was asked. “It was once, but it is not so much now.” The rooms occupied by the Governor were crowded all of Saturday Dy Tennes- seans. Gov.‘ Taylor was the life of the party for his fund of: anecdote and story 4s se@mingly exhaustless. DEMOCRATS WILL MEET First Movement Towards Perfecting Local Organization, ernor, the South.

A MEMBER OF THE CUBAN JUNTA STATES THAT NEGOTIA- TIONS ARE ON. ' ‘ ; THE ISLAND LOST TO SPAIN. ‘ Holders of Vast Property interests Now Know That Spain Cannot Protect Them and Turn to the United States. 4 NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—‘“Influences have been brought to bear on Sagasta that have mduced him to direct De Lome to make propositions to the State Department at Washington looking to an .American pro- tectorate over Cuba and possible annexa- tien,”’ said a member of the Cuban Junta last night. ‘‘For some weeks the Spaniards in Washington have been remarkably active and at the same time remarkably secretive. } There have been all kinds of ministeria] visits to the State Department and whis- pered conferences behind closed dooors be- tween rich Havana merchants and the agents of the Spanish minister. “We knew there was something in the wind, but for some time we did not find out what it was. Finally, by an intricate piece of detective work by our Washington agent we have begun an unearthing of a plot that means nothing less than the es- tablishment by the United States of a pro- tectorate over Cuba and the complete re- tirement of Spain from the island. “The Spaniards in Cuba, especially the rich and influential ones, realize that Spain has lost, her grip on the island forever. They cat? never again call on the Spaniards for protection for their lives and property. “There’ is a possibility that the latest Spanish expedient may succeed. I think I voice the sentiment of the greater part of my countrymen when I say that so far as we are concerned we should not greatly ob- ject to being ruled by and even absorbed into the American republic. “The State Department is now consider- ing the proposition.”’ JUST BACK FROM CUBA.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Dr, Janquin Cas- tillo, one of the leaders of the Cuban Junta here, and who is said to have been con- nected with several filibustering ex pedi- tions, returned here to-day on the Ward Line steamer Niagara, after a~ successful incursion into Cuba. Dr. Castillo refused to Say on what ship he reached Cuba, but said that he landed nine miles east of Manati Bay, on Nov. 1 last, after being fired upon by the Spanish fort. ‘In our party,’’ said. Dr. Castillo, “was Justo Garcia, a son of Gen. Garcia, who had escaped from the Spanish penal colony at Ceuta, off Africa. After we had landed we were joined by Col. Garcia, eldest son of the General, who had with him 800 in- surgents “The insurgents are well fed, wel] armed and supplied with plenty of ammunition.

Pierpont Morgan, Jr., is the first woman to com- ply with the new law which says that all sealskins brought into this country must bear evidence that they were not secured in Alaskan waters since sealing was for- bidden there.

APPEAR FOR THE RAILWAY PRESIDENTS WHO WERE RECENTLY ARRESTED. EFFORTS TO PICK FLAWS. Statute Criticised ss Ambiguous by Mr. Lehmann and It Is Termed Class Legisjation Against Electric Lines. The motion to quash fn the cases against the street railway presidents, who are charged with failing to provide vestibules for the protection of motormen on electric street cars, was argued in the Court of Criminal Correction Saturday. Capt. McCulloch of the Cass avenue line was present. Messrs. Edwards Whitaker, president of the Lindell; John Scullin, pregi- dent of the Union Depot lines and Corw.n H. Spencer, president of the Southern Electric line, were not present. . - Among the attorneys for the railway presi- dents were Frederick H. Lehmann, Judge J. E. McKeighan, Smith P, Galt, E. 38. Robert, Lubke & Muench. Prosecuting Attorney Thomas E. Mulvihill represented the State. Mr. Lehmann, counsel for the Lindell road, argued in favor of the motion. He said the law was peculiar, in that !t was stated in thé affirmative and net in the negative as usual. He defined the offense, and said it was direeted to no person in particular. The law directs that all motor cars shall be provided with screens, but it does not say that any man. shall be punished for operating the car, but for failing to provide. The law is directed against the owners of the car, but only by inference. The lawyer said that the motorman was an agent and employe of the street_railway corporation, and under the information was as much subject to punishment for operat- ing the car as.was the President. But the law was evidently for the protection of the motorman apd it was not intended that he should be punished. Then Mr. Lehmann contended that there was no averment that the president, who is charged in the information with the of- fense, was empowered to provide vestibules. He stated that it was a law of Missouri that all corporations should be controlled by a board of directors. They are the per- sons, if any, who should be proceeded against. Mr. Lehmann attacked the grammar of the second section and said the language was so ambiguous as to be capable of several constructiOns. He said: “Every employe, officer or agent, who has no authority to provide cars with screens, may be punished for each day the car owned by the corporation remains unpro- vided with screens. In the meantime the corporation itself will go unpunished, while probably the employe, for whose interests the act was passed, may be punished under the c@nsiruction of this act, if the prece- dent against the president can be main- nen against every street railway em- oye. “The president is only an employe of the street car line. And as an empioye he is entitled under the constitution to certain rights and is not bound by any act of the association which employs him. The act applies to president and other employe equally. If it does not it is void. ‘The law is unjust because it is Clase leg- islaiion. The title of the act says all ‘street cars’ shall be so provided. The act itself says ‘electric? cars. This is class legisla- tion. It says nothing about cable cars, though there are many of them in opera- tion. It does not mention horse cars, some of which are still in operation.” Judge J. E. Keighan, counsel for Pres- ident Charles H. Turner of the Suburban Railroad, argued on the Iine that the law was class legislation. He held that the gripmen on cable cars Were entitled to the sdme protection. He said that on some ca- ble roads .the gripman was in front and was protected no more from the weather than was the motorman on an electric car. On other. lines he is stationed in the cen- ter of the grip car. He is in a measui@ protected from the rafn, but not from the wind. There are three classes of stree. railways—electric, cabl@®and horse cars— yet the law selects only one class, elec- tric, which makes the law clearly class law, which is unconstitutional. Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill said that if the objections of counsel for defense were as strong as they were numerous, the Siate was, indeed, in a desperate position. In answer to the objection that the title of the law is g®neral and not specific, Mr. Mulvihill sa:d that would not render the law invalid. He defended the wording of the statute and.gaid the Supreme Court had held. Legislators could frame their laws as they saw fit. “IT think the objection raised by counsel that the president cannot be held respon- sible for the acts of the corporation of which he is an officer is not well taken,”’ he said. ***The law in every State provides that the president and Board of Directors are responsible for the corporation’s act. Hach member of the Board of Directors can be charged with the v'olation of the law. “There is no evidence to show that the president or board of directors made any effort to comply with the iaw. “As to the charge of class legislation counsel for defense argue that it is class legislation because it does not embrace cable and horse cars, as well as electric cars. They might £0 fur- ther and inciude buss lines, steamboats and other vehicles. Now, if«the law pro- vided for the enforcement of the law only in St, Louis it might be considered local or Class legislation. The legislators who framed the jaw knew what was needed, | They knew that the motormen needed the protection afforded by the vestibules,, while the gripmen of cable cars do not. Judge Murphy sustained the motion to quash, and said, In substance: “The act purports to be an act requiring persons, associations and corporations own- ing or operating street cars to provide for the wellbeing and protection of employes. This means the association or corporation pe ES eR ee —_ — teen -_ > SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills, They also relieve Distress from Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating.

In certain months electric cara must be attached to motor cars—with the screens or vestibules, A motor car is not necessarily an electric car. During these months there must be a protection on the front end of the car for the motorman (of the electric car), for the gripman (of a cable car) and of the driver (for a horse car). All of these are motor cars. The name is derived from motive power, and all these must have been in the mind of the legislators when the law »was framed. “The trouble is that the act itself only provides for protection to employes of elec- tric cara. “But the first question is as to the suffi- ciency of thy complaint—whether it is drawn against the proper person. It provides for any person, agent or officer o ciation. That certainly cannot be ap to the President.

St. Louis had seven years to con- sider the problem of lighting that part of the city south of Keokuk street. | The lighting plant of Galveston consists of six arc light dynamos, of sixty lights capacity each, and one incandescent dynamo. This sup- plies 296 arc lights of 2,000 candle power and 632 incandescent lamps. When entirely paid for the plant will have cost $65,000. Galveston is paying for this plant on easy terms, the payments being met out of the ordi- nary annual appropriations for lighting streets and public buildings. By the time all the in- stallments paid the. .plant will have paid for itself. | No interest-bearing bonds have been issued to secure the construction or operation of “this municipal plant. The chief obstacle in the way of St: Louis getting a lighting plant, of its own is said to be the prohibition against issuing more city bonds. How did Galveston get over this obstacle? are With a holiday vacation and three days’ addi- tional rest in a week, the Illinois Legislature is not going to be brought to nervous préstra. tion through overwork. | a + & — aS THE NEW ART.

Post-Dispatch, -* ~——-# ¢@——--_—_-—— The pie-eaters of Ohio are now posing as an “outraged public.” ».& A. rw * | WHAT WILL HAPPEN. New England's problem was clearly stated in ie figures printed by the Post-Dispatch, show- ing the situation in the cotton mills. Wages have been reduced to meet the compe- tition of Southern cotton mills from 10 to 111-9 per cent, or from an average of $6.48 a week to $5.70. The number of persons affected is esth mated at 500,000. Well informed men say that the reduction - will not better things much, and merely fore- ehadows the beginning of the end of cotton manufacturing in New England. The competition from which New England is euffering is internal and cannot be prevented by Dingley laws. There is no relief from it in protection. - When New England stops manufacturing and becomes a truck farm and residence district for financial and commercial magnates, what will be New Englands attitude on the question of the protective tariff? consumers consent to be heavily taxed for the benefit of Westerg and Southern manufactu- rers? There is an interesting prospect In this con- tingency. When New Englanders find that the proteative tariff is a tax for somebody else's benefit, won’t there be a howl? Won't the ears Of the country be rent with protesting yells emanating from New England such as have not been heard since tea was dumped in Boston ‘harbor? What a campaign against\the injustice and robbery of protection we shall then see! i ti a tied ne Ohioans seem to be reve voter of Hanna about a publi r not ow- f ~ s Will New England ' ing the publit anything: The Ohio people ve I dently think that the public doesn’t owe any- thing to a public officer who acts on that the- ory. =e i i A POLITICAL POLICE. The rufmor that a change is to be made in the personnel of the Board of Police Commig- sioners is too good to be true, A change of Commissioners which would in- volve a radical change in the policy and pur- pose of the Board would be a blessing to the people of this city. They are suffering heavy penalties for police mismanagement. St.Louis is overrun with criminals. Hold- ups, burglaries, purse-snatchings, assaults and all forms of crime are common. The criminals have become so bold that they operate in pul. lic places by day as well as by night. The Police Department seems paralyzed. One need not go far to find the cause of the demoralization of the police. Neither the po- lice officers nor the patrolmen are primarily re- sponsible, but it is due to the Board’s policy ot making the control of the police force serve po- litical and perscnal ends. Political assessments are levied on the police with the consent of the Police Board. The members of the force are made a part of a po- litical machine. It is freely charged that the power of the Board is made to serve personal as well as po- litical ends. Corrupt pulls thus established soon become strong enough to protect criminals. The recommendations of stperior officers count for nothing. The captains and chiefs have no voice in the assigning of men. By bar- room agreements, sometimes executed by tele- phonic orders from a befuddled Commissioner, faithful officers are transferred simply because some ward politician is to be obliged. The policy is fatal to the efficiency of the po- lige In the work for which they are paid. It de- molishes discipline and demoralizes the force. [ft honeycombs the Department with corruption and incompetence. A police department may be made efficient as a party machine or efficient as a machine for the suppression of crime. It can never be both at the same time. Our Police Department is being turned into a partisan and personal machine. The city is at the mercy of the criminal elements. One is the inevitable consequence of the other. If Gov. Stephens regarded the interests, of St. Louis the present Police Board would not last a day. the finest newspaper art work in the see the big Sunday Post-Dis- For United States, patch. = = rr DURRANT’S RULING PASSION. Sentimental persons will find fresh cause for horror and doubt of the man’s guilt in Theo- dore Durrant’s declaration on the gallows that he was innocent. But there is no more foundation for doubt in this solemn declaration of innocence in the face of death than sentimentality may find in the case of any murderer, convicted of crime by process of law, who does not confess his guilt. Durrant had the benefit of all the legal proc. esses and safeguards accorded a man charged with crime. His guilt was established to the satisfaction of a jury and in a manner pro- nounced satisfactory by the highest courts and by the Governor of the State. It should be borne in mind that to assume the character Durrant assumed, yet commit the crimes of which he was convicted required the highest hypocrisy, which is an acute form of the vanity of righteousness. This excessive vanity would be sufficient to account for a lie in the face of death, uttered for the purpose of getting good opinion. _=_— = rr The fifty ablé-bodied policemen of St. Louis who are alleged to be drawing disability pen- sions from the Government are charging either the city or the Government rather more than their services justify, unless, indeed, they were exceptional herces in the war and are now in- vincible sleuths “in ‘the police department. i ai, 7-~ rv Baron Von BueloW, whose diplomacy has just snatched a slice of China for Deutschland, ran away with another man’s wife.

Audubon. At that time the butchering business may be said to have been at its height, for while countless herds of buffalo still roamed the plains, they were rap- idly being killed off by men who made a trade of it and who almost literally wallowed in the blood of wild animals. In his diary of his lifo on the Missouri River, ia volume two of these “Journals,” Audubon thus describes buffalo butchering, by white men, as he saw it. He says: “The moment that the buffalo is dead, three o four hunters, their faces and\ hands often co with gunpowder, and with pi animal on its belly, and by drawing ou and hind leg, fix the body so that it down again; an incision is made near the root o the tail, and the skin cut to the neck, and taken off in the roughest manner imaginable, downwards and on both sides at the same time. The knives are going in all directions, and many wounds to the hands and fingers, but are rarely att to at this time. The pipe of one man has Ee given out, and with his bloody hands ta t one of his nearest companion, who h his own hands equally bloody. Now one breaks in the skull of the bull, and with bloody fingers draws out the hot brains and swallows them with peculiar gest; another has now reached the liver and is down enormous pleces of it; whilst, perhaps, @ third, who has come to the paunch, ts feeding tux uriously on some—to me—disgusting looking offal. —— -— « ® Moca tearm ns and Western people generally were starving; he merely gives it as a common example of how the white hunters butchered this ame.

A new racing bill is to be introduced in the Illinois Legislature next week that may ‘result in the opening of the Madison and (ast St. Louis. race tracks over .in Illinois. The bill will be introduced by Sena- tor Fitzpatrick, and it will be entitled: “A bill for an act taxing the owners of ‘racing inclosures and permitting and regu- lating book-making and pool-seiling on horse races held therein.” The measure will be a substantial copy of one he offered at the last session, being Senate bill No. 434. The bill will allow racing on a basis of 5 per cent of the gross ‘receipts to be paid to the County Treasurer of the county wherein the inclosure ts locat- If ed. The payments are to be made daily. The County Treasurer is to remit the tax to the State Treasurer at the end of every six days, dedi'cting therefrom 2 per cent alowed him for making such collection. The bill will specifically bar foreign pools, limiting the poo)l-selling to horse races, and no other contests are to be had within such racing inclosure during the meeiing. No books shall be made or pools sold at any other time or upon any other event taking place outside the inclosure. The inclosures shall be not less than twenty acres in extent, nor shall they be within two miles of any other such in- closure already existing for that purpose. The meétings shall be had between the Ist of May and the Ist of November of each year, between 12 o’clock noon and 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and shall not exceed thirty days in the aggregate in each year on each inclosure. The pool selling is limited to the hours above mentioned. The penalties provided are in the shape of a fine to be levied on the Officers or agenis of associations or in- Aividuals who infringe the act. The for- ‘Teiture is fixed at not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 a day for each day such bookmaking and buying and selling pools is permitted in violation of the act. Fail- ure to pay. the tax is punishable by a fine of $1,000 a day for such fallure. Senator Fitzpatrick says the bill may be slightly changed-in some particulars, but in the main it will be as _ substantiaily given above.

Nostrand has outlawed himself and is now riding at Barkesdale, Md. Jockey Nostrand was at Harlem with. Frank Fo sea horses last fall. He rode a number of good races and his services were in demand from the first. He was considered a promising boy, and, while Judge Clark lectured him sev- eral times and suspended him once for a few days, he was in good standing when he left Chicago. A ‘short time before he went away he had some words with Cass Sloan, who claimed that Nostrand had crowded him into the fence and pinched his foot ina race. After returning to the jockey-room Sloan told him he had better be careful until he had learned to ridé. This incensed the boy and he threatened Sloan, who promptly knocked him down. A few days later he left the Harlem track, with- out saying where he was going, and he had not been heard from until he was lo- cated at Barkesdale.

Paying the Debt. The hour was late when they reached Mervyn street, and the dinner became a supper. Ann, half in desperation, half in mockery, entered into ‘Marten’s mood. She sent out for champagne, delicacies, and flow- ers. She prepated the feast of a Sybarite, with decorations of yellow rceses, and shaded lamps hid- den amid bowers~of cclor and perfume. Marten, when he came, was delighted. clasped ther réund the waist. “By Jove, my girl! You've done it this time! What a home we'll have down there—eh? You'll know how to do the thing’’— She shuddered and ket thim kiss her forehead; then wrung herself free with sudden force. “What a devil it is!” he murmured, iooking at her admiringly. Her spirit pleased him now that he was sure of her. The supper went off gayly. When the servant withdrew, the second bottle of champagne was al- ready opened, and Ann had taken only one glass. Marten continued to drink; he made Ann come and sit beside him and pour out the wine; the toasted her afresn with every giass. Once she said she felt faint, and escaped for a moment from the room; when she returned she refilled his half- emptied glass, and, as though by accident, placed the bottle on the sideboard. There remained in it but a very small quantity. Presentiy Marten having finished his cigar and emptied his giess, called for more. Ann rose gnd went to fetch the wine; as she stood at the sfde- board her husband's back was turn towards her. There was a slight delay in her vements, and Marten sprang to his feet and turned round, “Come, am { giving you too much trouble, Ann? You'll have to teach me manners. How came the wine back there?’ He advanced to meet her, holding out his giaes; there was just enough in the bottle to fill it once more. The man was not drunk, but the good wine was giowing, pulsating in every vein; it imbued him with a greater courtesy and smoothness of speech, and seemed to radiate from his person; shining with amber light through the dark pupils of his eyes, increasing the rich warmth of this natura! color. Ann was deadly pale, but her hand was Steady as she filled the glass. 2 ere,”’ she said, “it ia empty.

Serviettes lay upon the floor, the chairs had been pushed aside and stood cornerwise, empty, gaping, meaningless. From the street came the incessant roll of carriages. Ann had closed her eyes, and Marten, stooping, touched her thand. He thought the pale fingers burnt him. “T cannot leave you in this state.”’ “IT entreat you to go. I only want to be alone. inn .

The door yielded to his touch and he entered. The gas was turned low, and looking round he noticed a smal! bottle slightly out of the regular line; he took it up ° * *xamined it; perhaps Ann had been here alr’ ’ a of a restorative: he remembered her faintness and short absence from the dining-room. The bottle roved only to contain some ordinary medicine, not ikely to have been wanted at that time, and he was about to replace it when he saw a second row of bottles behind, all labeled “Poison.”’ “Thank heaven,” he said to himself, “all this confounded meddling with doctor’s stuff will soon be over. She is thoroughly overworked.” He continued, however, to look with a gort of fascination at the row of deadly labels and noticed with some interest that the bottle immediately be- hind that which had been displaced bore the name of a poisonous plant indigenous to the West Irdies, but brought to Sumatra by the blacks, and said to be greatly favored by the Obi men. It had been proved to be a powerful heart poison, cumulative, and usually undiscernible in the system. A relatively large dose meant almost immediate death, but by the repetition of smaller oe the end might be delayed to a given time, . All that he had heard of the insidious evil of the drug came back to his mind, and unimaginative, heavy-minded man as he was, a horror seemed to hang about the discovery and the close, drug- laden air of the surgery. He hastily replaced the bottles as he had found them, and was leaving the room when he was startled anew by a scream. It sounded like a cry of terror and despair, and tame from the direction of the dinfhg-room. He rushed back along the passage he had just traversed, and filled with fears he dared not own, yey open thé door of the room where he had left nn. She had risen from the sofa, and had thrown herself upon her knees beside a chair, her face buried in her hands; she looked a mere agonized heap; her whole body was writhing. As he drew near she sprang to her feet, and stretched out her ‘hands as though groping in dark- nees; all the cournge and calm that had be- longed to her moment of exaltation had left her. He seized her hands. “a@nn—what is it? What have you done?” Save me, Marten—save me—I can’t die, I can’t.”’ “Te? My God, what have you done? The Indian stuff—have you taken it? Speak—did you mean it for. me?” For a moment her eyes met his. “What do you mean? Are you dreaming—mad?"’ she said, with supreme effort. Then: “But I can’t die! Don’t let me—don’t!’’ He looked at her in heipless agony: he was be- wildered. Was she an almost inconceivable liar? He was dimly conscious of understanding her for the first time, yet that It mattered nothing. Noth- ing mattered but that she must die—Ann, so fuil of strong, vigorous life—Ann, his wife! ‘ She was growing faint: beads of perspiration gathered upon her forehead—at the corners of her mouth. She clutched the back of a chair, swaying to and fro. ; He rushed to the sideboard, filled a winegiass with brandy, and held it to her lips. She swal- lowed some of it. “Try,” he said, “try and fight it out until I can fetch some one—some hein.” ‘“No-—don't mare ee on’t—there no help—oh, m — Marten pulled furiously at the bell, and sent the frightened maid that answered:the summons fly- ing for a doctor. i Then he took his wife into his arma. Rest here,” he eaid, and Iaid her head upon his breast. Presently he was forced to life ber to the sofa, ard then «& still sat beside her supporting her. When the doctor arrived the end was very near, and she was past all help; as indeed she had been from the begmnaing. Once or twice she raised her dull eyes to Mar- ten’s face. with a look of pleading that went to his heart; but whether for yardon or relief he could not tell. When they closed\at last she was still in hie arms. Then he carried her to her own room, and when he laid her down upon the bed he was trembling like a frightened, exhausted chiid. But he bent over ber and kissed her on the brow timidilvy. The parted Ifps seemed withheld forever, by his unspoken fear. “My poor girl,” he said softly in her ear, a9 though she could still hear him, “if I had on'y known! But there were times when I thought you loved me, Ann-—I did indeed!” The doctor’s report was to the effect that Mrs. Marten had died from heart disease, accelerated by the strain of overwork, and at the inquest a ver- dict of “Death from natural causes” was returne’. Marten van Maarten never dared, even to him- self, deliberately to contradict that verdict; but sometimes he wondered if Ann had led to him.

Says Her Husband Abandoned Her at a Station While En Route to St. Louis. Mrs. Elizabeth Slatter, a handsome young woman, styHshly dressed, told Dr. New- comb a strange story of desertion at the City. Dispensary Saturday. _ The young woman was taken from a train at Union Station, suffering ‘with hysteria. It was some time before she became coher- ert under the soothing potions the doctor gave her. She said that she and her husband, Au- gust Staller, lived in Opelika, Ala., and were going to Keokuk, Io. When the reached Birmingham her husband got o the train and said he was going to buy some cigars. She was interested in a book, and the first thing she knew the train was moving away. She thought nothing of her husband not being in the seat beside her, believing that he had gone into the smoking car. The train sped along and it might have been an hour before she laid her book aside and began to wonder where her husband could be, She asked the porter to look for him. He returned and said he could not find h'm. Growing uneasy she went back to the smoker to see for her- self, but returned all the more alarmed and then sent the conductor and porter on a hunt through the ears for her lost hus- band. He was not on the train. The conductor tried to console her with the idea that he had accidentally missed his train and would follow on the next. At the first stop she sent a telegram back to him, care of the depot agent at Birming- ham. It was a restless night with her, and a few hours later she sent another. tele- gram, telling her husband she would await him in St. Louis, and to telegraph her at Union Station without fail. When she arrived here and found no re- ply from her husband she gave way to tears. “T am deserted,” she wailed. ‘Oh, I did not believe August would treat me so,” and from tears her grief developed into hys- teria. The poor woman looked and acted as if she was crazy. She came to the dispensary in a carriage. and after she was in a measure calmed told her story, and how happily she had been married to Slatter, who was a prosperous young merchant. She could give no reason for her husband’s queer action. Mrs. Slatter wanted to pay Dr. Newcomb for his attention, and he advised her to go to the hospital, but she refused and said if she did not hear from her husband by even- rin she would return home on the next rain. .

J. H. Funk of Hardin County Named for Speaker. DES MOINES, Io., Jan. 8—The House caucus was held last evening, J. H. Funk of Hardin County was nominated for Speaker by acclamation, The caucus was quiet and harmonious, fifty-eight of the sixty-two Representatives being present. The only ripple was occasioned by the intro- duction of a resolution by Ray of Powe- shiek to reduce the number of employes of the House. This was debated at length, The result was the almost unanimous adop- tion of a substitute which fixed the em- ployes just as they had been at the last ses- sion. here were only a few ballots: taken, and none of the contests were close. For doorkeeperships and janitorships the candl- dates were numerous. THE STRUGGLE TOO SEVERE. Carroll Hanks Lost Courage and Took His Own Life.

CHICAGO, 1893 —Bervant girl ~~ BROKEN BACK Not | One Break, But Four, Very Neatly Repaired. PARALYSIS DISAPPEARING. JOSEPH ROTHERT STARTED OUT TO SEE THE WORLD IN CHOP- PERS’ CAMPS. HELD PRISONER BY A TREE. Father a Wealthy Tobacco Commission Merchant and Brave Joseph Rothert Doesn’t Wish His Family Worried. Joseph Rothert of Arkansas came to St. Louis last week. He brought with him @ back. broken in four places. Dr. Waldo Briggs performed a remarkable operation of laminectomy on the patient, who. is only 16 vears old, and the chances are more than favorable for his complete recovery. The boy occupies a cot at the Baptist Hospital, at Garrison and Franklin ave- nues, and suffers -.but little pain. Though Joseph is only a boy, and is slight for his years, he has been doing a man’s work for more than a year. He was at work for a big saw mill company near Paragould, Ark., one day more than two weeks azo in a forest, felling trees, He attacked a big aak and made the chips fly furiously. The tree stood on the side of a small hill, and Joseph recokoned on the tree falling down hill. Hie cut away until he thought the tree Was about ready to topple. le gave a final blow. The big tree began to quiver, The sound of the breaking wood told the boy his work was accomplished, With his ax 'n his hand he ran away, as he thought, to a place of safety. But he did not get far enough. One of the imbs, more than six inches in diameter, caught the boy and he was thrown to the ground. The limb fell across his back and pinioned him. There was one reat twinge of intense pain. Then Joseph elt only utter helplessness. The weight of the limb held him. /For more then an hour he lay there alone, Then some other woodmen came aiong. When the big tree was rolled away the boy Was rescued, but he was unconscious. He was taken to his quarters and the doc- tor was summoned, Restoratives were ap- plied and consciousness returned. The physi- cian found that the boy was paralyzed from ] his waist down. He nothing tried to treat the injured boy, but he said seemed to do him any good. The suner'ntendent of the company dec'ded to send the boy to a St. Louis hospital and have an expert see if his life could be saved. Dr. Waldo Briggs found that four of the vertebrae Were fractured, and nothing but the dangerous operation of laminectomy wou'd save the boy’s life. Friday Rothert was placed under the tnflu- ence of an anaesthetic. He was laid on the operating table, face downward. Dr. Briggs, with his instruments close at hand, and surrounded by his assistants, took h's place at the operating table. , The doctor made a long incision on the back, laying half a dozen sections of the backbone exposed to view. The doctor saw that his d‘aenosis was correct. Four of the vertebrae were fractured. The tenth dorsal was fractured in three places. The bone pressed in on the spinal cord, which could also be plainly seen. The cord is fully half an inch in diameter. It was lacerated in several places, but was not severed. Hat it been no operat‘on would have been necessary. Death would have come at once. The surgeon operated rapidly. The shat- tered pieces of spinous process were re- moved from the spinal column. The cord the spinal column was straightened and was placed in its normal position. Then _. ene rent thoroughly cleansed and ’ closed with silk thread, Were left for drainage. — The doctors say the ens successful.

His father is a tobacgo commission merchant and is reported as prosperous. The boy wished to see the world, He went over in Arkan- Sas, and though he admits that the work of a woodchopper is hard, the pay small ahd the chance for advancement slight. he pre- ferred fo stick to it rather than return to h's home and acknowledge himself a failure.

M, C, A, Sermon on the New Year. | Extract of sermon preached by the Rev. William Short of St. Peter’s ‘Episcopal Church, from the text: ‘‘In Untrodden Ways. I Will Lead Them in Paths That They Have Not Known.” We stand to-day upon the threshold of a New Year. Before us lies the unknown, shrouded in darkness, which no human eye ean penetrate. We enter upon a journey over untrodden paths, into which no pioneer has ever ventured, and where possibilities for good or evil lle which no mortal knows. What the New Year may have in store for each and all of us no one can forewarn. What sorrows shall be born in it, what joys shall die in it, what delights or what heart- breakings shall be our portion in it, what \ hopes shall be realized in it, no prophet can foretell. ‘The pathway into the future must always be a pathway of faith, where wisdom al- ways truets to God to guide, who alone knows what its issues are to be, Behind us lies the past, about which we all know more or less. Je can look back over the trodden paths which have brought us to the present and know something of the way by which we have come to be what we are. The years that pass are not altogether dead and gone years, becauze they still live with us in memory and muet ever remain with us, in the influences for good bor ill, that they have left upon our souls. But the fu- ture must always be shrouded in wuncer- tainty. Its months and weeks and days are untrodden paths and no one can forecast to what trials or joys or miseries or blessings they may lead us. It is a bleased thing for man that the future is veiled with a thick were we compelled to bear the burden of the future as well as of the past, then human hearts would break and even the stoutest at times would be tempted to despair. So it is a blessed thing for us that we cannot see what a New Year has in store, for whatever the past may have been faith can fill the future with bright visions and hope can dream of holy angels within its shadows to help to better things to come. But evil angela hide there also and the dread forms of dire temptations lurk along its un- trodden paths, and it is this which makes ‘he entrance upon a New Year a serious and solemn as Well as a hopeful thing. Reception to Archbishop Kain. Archbishop Kain visited the Academy of the Visitation, Cabanne place, Thursday. He celebrated the holy sacrifice of the mass in their chapel at 6:30 o'clock, giving also to those present the papal benediction, a privilege conferred by His Holiness the Pope, on the occasion of the Arehbishop’s recent visit to Rome. At 9 o'clock the pupils of the Academy assembled in the odeon to receive his grace.

The opportunity for the_ revolutionists came under a consideration of the revised rules which were reported by a committee at the last meefing. The rules had not been revised in fifteen years and it was more for the purpose of putting them in regular order than for radical changes that the committee was ap- pointed. Mr. Gaus offered a resolution that the committees be elected by the Council in- stead of being appo'nted by the president. Only Mr. Gaus, Hagan, Heckel and Thu- ner voted for the resolution. Then Mr. Heckel bobbed up with a prop- osition to enlarge the committees to five members instead of three. This was de- feated also. The most important changes in the rules is the abolition of the Committees on Po- lice, Fire Department, Markets, Election and registration, Mullanphy Fund and Council. ee ad the East will de- Feb | Dr. W. M. Gross Is the Name ef the Inventor. EFFORTS TO TAP THE CLOUDS. HE IS A PROMINENT ILLINOIS PHYSICIAN AND IS ENOWN AS A SCIENTIST. BACKED BY A RICH FARMER. All Interested Ars Keeping Secret the Construction of the Machine and What They Have Accomplished. Dr. William M. Gross of Gillespie, Ill. is the mysterious inventor of the mysterious electrical machine being tested at the La- clede Gas Light and Power Co.’s plant at thé foot of Mound street. Interested with him in the invention are John H. Eilers of Gillespie and Frank Friede and William Brandt of Mount Olive, Ill. They have all been in St. Louis since Thursday and will return home next week, It is said that the tests will be continued for several weeks and it may be the first of March before decisive results are ob- tained. Dr. Gross stands high in Gillespie. He is the leading practitioner in a rich section of country and commands the respect of all who know him. His neighbors are divided in their opinions of his invention. Some think it is chimerical; others expect great things of it. As neither contingent knows anything about it except in the most gen- eral way one opinion is worth as much as the other. . Dr. Louis H. Behrens of St. Louis knows Dr. Gross well and speaks of him in warm terms as an admirable gentleman and a learned physician. *“‘Aside from his 2 said. Dr. Behrens, “Dr. Gross is one of t best mathematicians I ever knew. No roblem is too abstruse for him to soive. e hus a natural bent that way, I know nothing about his invention except what I have read in the Post-D‘spatch and have heard from my old neighbors in Gillespie, but Dr. Gross is not the kind of man to chase a chimera. He is strong, practical and exact and he has great faith in this in- vertion.”’ John H. Eilers of Gillespie is probably putting up the bulk of the money for Dr. Gross’ experiments. He is a young man, with a large estate and good business meth- ods. He is amply able to meet the ex- penses of the experiments that are being made. Dr. Gross made a statement Saturday to a Post-Dispatch reporter. He said that he was unable to make experiments Satur- day morning because there was not enough wind to raise the kites. He was pleased with the results of Friday’s tests. A cur- rent of electricity so strong that the men flying the kites were compelled to use rub- ber gloves was obtained. This was grati- fying, but not surprising, as everybody knew there was an abundance of electricity in the air. It was surprising, however, to note that the strongest current came when the kite was only 100 feet high. Dr. Gross proudly admits that he is in op- position to the scholastic theory of electri- eal force. He holds that it is not a static, but induced, and that the centrifugal force of the earth induces it. His machine is in- tended to exceed the éarth in céntrifugal force and thus attract and hold the force that is now drawn into the center of the globe. The theory is unique, he claims, and if it proves correct it will revolutionize physical philosophy. If he succeeds in drawing electricity from nature’s store house in quantities suf- ficient for utilization it will not be by means of kites. Towers will be used. as a physician,” The experiments at the foot of Mound street continued till nearly dark Friday af- ternoon. It is claimed that there was some degree of success, but not what was ex- pected. There were various difficulties to contend with. Soft weather was among them. The ground along the railroad tracks where the kites were flown was thawing. The cord got wet and soggy and was nearly as good a conductor as the wire, besides being so heavy that the strongest kite could hardly bear it. Then the atmospheric con- ditions were bad for kite-flying. There was a stiff surface wind, but the upper cur- rents were weak. Kite-flyer Hall and his assistant were kept busy nursing the kites after they were raised—for be it known that unless a kite is properly nursed or played ee the gale is weak or capricious it will all. Dr. Gross and his assistants had their troubles inside the power house. It was deemed necessary that the rotary dise or wheel of the machine should’ make 12,000 revolutions a minute. In doing this some- thing like a hot box was acquired. The bearings got heated and the experiments had to be stopped. That an electric current was drawn from the air is attested by several persons who could not be prevented from watching the experiments. Whether this current can be made strong enough to be of utility no one can say. The idea is to draw the fluid into Drs K.2.KA. | | backing needed for a | Emerson Electric Co. | for him two years ago, but after the com- _pany’s electrician had looked into the mat- | ter the ' doctor finally got financial ' machine was made. | ST.LOUIS AT CONVENTIONS.

De Witt Talmage, undoubtedly the greatest living divine, occupies in the hearts and minds of the people a position of pre-eminent esteem and regard. No other preacher is so widely known, no other clergyman is so distinguished throughout the world. A great orator and writer, his sermons have the widest dis- semination, until there is scarcely a fam- ily where his name and works are not known. Whenesuch a man, a recognized leader and teacher of the people, testifies by his written testimonial that Dr. Greene’s Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy has helped him and that he recommends its use for. invigoration after over-work, to restore the strength, energy, nerve force and vi- tality of the system, when for any reason they are lost, weakened or impaired, those who are sick and suffering, who are weak, nervous, without strength, energy and ambition, who are discouraged and dis- heartened by repeated failures to be cured, in. fact all who have need of a strength-giving and health-restoring med- icme, can take renewed hope from the words of,this great preacher, that Dr. Greene’s Nervura is the one remedy among all others to. give them back the health and strength they have lost.

Now jgive me all the partiewiars of your interview with the de- tective in the morning.” The visitor complied, giving the burglar all the information he could ccncerning the missing detec- tive. While be was speaking Timelock Bones per- formed severai pieces upon a bicycle gong. Aiter his client had finished the great burglar fell into a deep train of thought, which only the presence of the visitor prevented him from holding up and robbing. After some two hours Timelock Bones suddenly said: “What is the name of your young lady type- writer?”’ The visitor informed him. The burglar con- sulted a book that lay on his table. “Now.” he said, “you will find your detective in a store immediately across from No. 1887 West Seventy-ninth street at 8 o'clock in the morning.” ‘‘May I ask how you arrived at this conclusion?” “Certainly. It is very simple. The detective came to your office to see you about this matter. You gave him my description. I am a tall, dark man, with very black hair. I see, fastened upon the second button of your vest, a couple of long, very blond hairs. From their position what do I infer? You have a young lady typewriter|in your office who is very short, light haired and fair. If your house had been robbed by a Patagonian seven feet high, with his right thumb missing and vow legs, the detective would have staried at once for the arctic regions to find a knock-kneed Nor- wegian dwarf wiih six fingers on his right hand. Now, the detective had reason to believe that the crime was committed by a tall, dark man, with black hair. Then whom should he naturally sus- pect? Why, the first short, fair woman with light hair that he saw, of course. Your typewriter an- swered this description, but, according to my the- ory, you don’t give the detective a cuance to inter- view the young lady he suspects. I see from the’ city directory that she lives on a sireet you trav- erse in going home. You always walk that far with her in the evening, and when you come down in the morning she always happens to come out the gate just as you pass, and you walk downtown together. Am I right?” “Well, yes, l’-—— “I thought so. In the morning you will find the detective in the store across the street, as I said, where he has been concealing himself every day for a month with the hope of getting a chance at the young lady whom he suspects.”’ Tithelock Bones never made a mistake. The visitor drew out a roll of money and paid the $150. “Now,” continued the great burglar-detective, “understand that this interview is confidential. Those little trinkets that I abstracted’”—— “Oh, that’s all right,’” said the visitor. ‘That’s a&small matter. What I want is to get this detec- tive choked off.” As the visitor departed the merry chimes of Timelock Bones’s bicycle bell echoed down the stairway as the greatest modern detective-detec- tive continued his musical recreations. sferferforfeofvelenfenfeofeofoofenincjanfonlonfon'o ojoefeete:doefesfosteelnfonfeorfeeterloclecfeslocboeleclecfeolenls clecloofecfoolenfenlesfoetestosfonfoetecfonfocfocfenlanlenboods eofeefoefecfoefoeloefoforbetodeslelondoeleetesfonfoelecfe leetesfensoetetentendiete-testectectecbecforfecfesdedeefeeds cfevdorleslosioslectoeleclecfeeloofeeloeloeloefoofon[oelenfoefenboafoofonhanate “) 7m . me Fe * _ i i a i a a a ~ . -~, P+ we *e ow i a ee SEE “ss Kor (' , = ~ ey ws - ~~ Ae, => a eee = a nee ~ ~. ~~ % A NEW TOUCH ON AN OLD SUBJECT.

She is likewise the mother of a daughter, Araminta, or “Minty,” as she is more generally called by her friends. She is a very nice girl. Mr. Starboarder evidently thought so, for he engaged himself to “Minty,” and for several months they were as loverlike as; it was possible for engaged people to be; but of late a change has come over the spirit of his dream. He no longer talks of marriage, although he is financially well fixed. At first “Minty’s” mother was disposed to be lenient and give. the evasive youth a chance to return to his true love of his own accord, but when she learned that he had been seen at the theatre with another young lady Mrs. Vanderkicker sent her “suaviter in modo” to the rear and brought her “fortiter in res” to the front. She inveigled him into the parlor and locked the door, and then, with a Richard III. smile, asked him to fix a day for the wedding. Mr. Starboarder squirmed around on his chair, coughed nervously and plead financial inability. “The fact is,” he said, with an artificial giggle, “I am financially busted. If steamboats were gell- ing at a cent apiece I couldn’t buy a gangway plank—ha! ha!” “That need not delay the wedding, Mr. Star- boarder. You shall never suffer hunger as long as I keep a boarding-house. I will be a mother to you.” He was tempted to say that he had one mother already, but there was something in her look that warned him this was no time for flippancy, so he tried another tack. With quivering chin and voice husky with emotion he said: “It was wrong in me not to tell you about it before, but the truth is I am not worthy of ‘Minty.’ One of my uncles is a fugitive from jus- tice in Canada, and one of my sisters is living with a fifth husband.” Mrs. Vanderkicker replied with composure: “My dear sir, I have long suspected as much, and I dare say your own record would not bear inves- tigation; but I will overlook your low family for ‘Minty’s’ sake. Besides, what your family lacks in respectability mine can furnish. I myself belong to an old Knickerbocker family, and my brother will be appointed to a high position by the new Mayor of Greater New York.” “But,” whined Starboarder, as the perspiration boiled out of his forehead, “I am an invalid. One of my lungs is entirely gone, and my doctor tells me I’ve not got six months to live.” “All the more reason that the wedding take place at once, for it will be impossible for ‘Minty’ to give you the attention you will need unless she ig your wife.” Starboarder was the picture of despair. He sighed heavily, for he realized that he had ex- hausted his ammunition without scoring a point. “There are other good reagons why you should marry,” continued “Minty’s” mother with em- phasis. “Wh—what—are they?” stammered the youth, very much excited. ; “If you do not marry her at once she will sue you for $10,000 damages in a breach-of-promise suit, and 109 idiotic love letters written by you will be read in open court and published in the daily papers. That’s not all. ‘Minty’s’ brother, who is a cowboy on a ranch in Texas, will come bd : >. ‘ on to New York, and the least he will do to you will be horsewhip you from Harlem River to the Battery.” The subsequent proceedings may ‘e inferred without much strain on the imagina‘ion, as the cards for the wedding are out.

Cineensnnienian JANUARY LINGERIE. ANUARY is a month which never fails to re- awaken the interest in pretty underwear which may have been dormant since the summer sun- shine passed away. This year the combinations of cambric and lace which the importers are exhibiting are more than usually artistic, as is indicated by the illustrations on this page. Three garments have been selected from a particu- larly beautiful display made a few days since by a specialist-in unique underwear, and these are repre- sentative of the season's. styles. One of the daintiest pleces Is a chemise of fine cambric with a deep yoke of Valenciennes lace.

It is an exact model of one re- cently made for a famous Parisian society woman. ee 2 PITTSBURG'S WOMAN ARCHITECT. YOUNG woman who draws plans for large build- ings, oversees the work of builders and gets as much money for her efforts as a man is Miss Elise Mercur, of Pittsburg. She comes from a promi- nent Pennsylvania family, being a niece of former Chief Justice Mercur, of the Pennsylvania State Su- preme Court. Miss Mercur enjoys the distinction of being the only woman architect of prominence in the country. She designed the Woman’s Building at the Atianta Expo- sition, and is at present working on a $60,000 addition to the Washington (Pa.) Female Seminary. She planned St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Pittsburg; St. Martin's Episcopal Church at Johnsonburg, Pa., and FOR A PLUMP FIGURE. also designed the children’s building at the new Pitts- burg City poor farm. To a representative of The World Miss Mercur said she “broke into” the architectural business by first work, over ceing and inepecing he laying tions, erec‘ing buildings, &c. If is her vation wae employed on a building to engage living quarters in the immediate vicinity and stay there Guring the progress of the work. As soon as the workmen on the building begin their labors Miss Mercur is on hand and personally sees almost every nail driven into the structure. In this way she acquires practical] know!l- edge possessed by few mrale architects. Miss Mercur is a specialist on heating, plumbing and ventilation. On this subject she delivered a lecture before the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn last winter. She frequently lectures before the Civic, Twentieth Century and other women's clubs of Pittsburg, trying to make women realize the importance of ventilation If the women understand this science, she says, they will teach it to the men. Miss Mercur has offices in the Times Building, Pittsburg, and employs three draughtsmen. She «ald: “I seemed to take maturally to the business. With my brothers I was educated abroad. After my father had lost a fortune and died I decided I would not be a burden on my brothers, and struck out for myself. | have all the work I can do. For doing men's work | always insist upon getting men’s prices. I never ac- cept an assignment for less than 5 per cent. I never have any trouble. Contractors who have worked un- der me know that I won't stand any ‘monkeying’ and do not try to fool me with poor material, careless work, &c. While I am willing to do what is right, I generally make them live up to the specifications, and any work done improperly has to be gone over again. Women, you know, are harder to please than men, and this is the reason, I think, I find contractors ex- erting themselves to please me. They know I will not pass their work unless it is done properly.” Miss Clara Meade, of Chicago, has the contract for the erection of the female seminary addition at Wash- ington. She personally directs the work of her men on the building. It is an odd sight to see Miss Mercur and Miss Meade on the top of the bullding, one super- intending and the other overseeing. In most of the larger cities women are rapidly be- coming interested in the study of architecture, and Miss Mercur is probably a pioneer in a line where many will sogn follow her. Any architect will admit —— t af sc = ~~ MY KeEnoe MRS. MARIE BUCKM becoming a draughtsman or draughtswoman.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 1898. ee eee DIAMOND BOW WORN AS BROOCh (From a sketch by a Sunday World artist.) Mitchell, the stage man- ager for Weber & Fields. HOLIDAY FADS IN JEWELRY. When Santa Claus had made the rounds of all the fashionable stockings in New York society it was found that he had left behind him someof the most remarkable gifts that\a stocking was ever known to hold. This is particularly true of the jewellers’ boxes, which contained more wonder- ful bits of ornamenta- tion |than could easily be conceived. One of the most memorable was a diamond brooch in the form of a huge bow knot. Worn outside a _ stock, the stock itself is almost concealed, and the g}it- tering bow knot obscures everything else in sight. But the young women who! received it consider that it igs the most ap- propriate thing in the world and delight in its massive glitter. There is a new way of wearing the heart-shaped locket, also discovered by a Nee enter” jf BESSIE CLAYTON, DANSEUSE. “HEN Mrs. Mephistopheles whirls on the stage at Weber & Fields’s Music Hall every night the spectator is dazzled by the rapidly revolving biack and red draperies and by the flying feet of the dancer. It is a moment before one can realize that this brill- fant bundle of confused animation is in fact a veri- table girl, and no other than Bessie Clayton, the won- derful little dancer. It is said, with some degree of justification for the expression, that there are brains in Miss Clayton's legs. They certainly do most marvellous things and fall with the utmost grace and dexterity into the most difficult poses known to the stage. if Miss Clayton were not so finished and graceful a dancer she would obtain recognition as a contor- tionist. However, she] — uses her marvellous flexi- | bility of muscle entirely | in legitimate dancing, | poses and steps. Miss Clayton’s ‘toe work’’ is said to be the best on the stage. She wears a soft satin slipper without the box toe usu- ally used by ballet dan- cers, In fact, Miss Clay- ton can poise as easily on the tips of her toes without slippers as with them. This dancer ‘first be- came well Known in New York during her engage- ment in “A Trip to Chinatown” at Hoyt's Theatre, She has ap- peared with great suc- cess in London, and is, under contract at the Folies Bergeres, Paris. Miss Cliayton has a} very pretty, immature little face. She is but nineteen years old and has danced all her life. She is what may be truthfully termed a “born dancer.’ She has never gone through the laborious and painful training common. to most dancers who attain any degree of proficiency. She says that she has never even suffered from the effects of toe-dan- cing,which usually leaves most painful results. Miss Clayton is con- Stantly busy inventing new dances, but needs scarcely any practice to keep in good condition She dances as well after a month or two of rest as when she is in daily | practice.

A costly trinket, but one which wil] do admirably as an heirloom some generations hence. ——-—————> ae BOSTON’S "EGYPTIAN PRINCESS.” (See article on opposite page.) Mrs. Marie N. Buckman, Secrétary for the United States of the Egypt Exploration Fund, has a most interesting personality. The students to whom she has delivered jectures at the Boston Art Museum have called her the ‘“‘Egyptian Princess,’’ which is a de- cidedly appropriate sobriquet. But this ‘Egyptian Princess’’ is|a New England girl, —— Te i who Is, however, beginning to. make herself felt. At present she is doing more practical and efficient work for the Exploration Fund than any one else in America Her office is at her home, No 6 Temple street, Boston. She was appointed the Secretary of the society last October. She receives subscriptions and carries on the correspondence Of the society, is one of the regular contributors to Biblia, the official American organ of the Egypt Exploration Fund, and in addition writes and speaks continually upon one phase or another of ancient Egyptian life. Mrs. Buckman’s classic features, her wonderful dark eyes, which glow with enthusiasm when she speaks; her well-formed brow, from which her heavy black hair is taken loosely back and fastened in a low, sim- ple coil at the back of her head—al] remind one of an- other age and climate. The Theosophists would cer- tainly affirm that she had lived and learned in Egypt before being born again in this cold New England sec- tion of the world. Else why should she have such an instinctive passion for hieroglyphics, scarabs, mum- mies and broken statues, which most people pass by with an idea that they are merely dead, stupid and tiresome relics of an uninteresting and unrelated past? Why should she have preferred the water lily to all other flowers before she knew anything about the sacred lotus of Egypt? “Mr. Buckman has considered my passion for hiero- glyphics as a mild sort of lunacy,” laughed Mrs. Buckman, with a pretty lifting of the eyebrows. “He has said that it always is for ‘better or worse,’ and the. ‘worse’ in his case is apparently hieroglyphics. But he has become reconciled.” Mrs. Buckman was not trained to be a classical stu- dent. She did not have the ireasures of Egypt thrust upon her, She gravitated toward them irresistibly. Her first glimpse into this ancient land, gained through following the wanderings of the children of Israel with her Sunday-school class of sixteen-year-old boys ih Tremont Temple, fascinated her. She could not turn back. She went on to the threshold of Pharaoh's prlace, she crossed it, and she took up her abode with the Egyptians, learning their modes of life and thought and viewing nature, art, literature and re- ligion through their eyes. The word “Egypt” on a printed page at once riveted her attention. A glimpse of a bit of broken pottery with Egyptian decoration upon it aroused her interest. She did not know the language of the Egyptians, but the meaning of many inscriptions flashed upon her before she had patiently worked them out and deciphered them. “Once become a disciple of, Isis and there igs no escape,”’ said she to The World correspondent.

Mrs. Buckman is work- ing very hard to increase the membership of the Exploration Fund. It is nearing the 1,000 mark in America. An American committee was organized a year ago to manage the business of the society in the United States. An- tiquities from Egypt are to be equitably divided between England and America and equitably distributed in America, in proportion to subscrip- tions to the fund.
